President Bola Tinubu approved the appointment of Lamido Yuguda as Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria on 11 March 2026, with the nomination subject to confirmation by the Nigerian Senate before it formally takes effect. The appointment fills the deputy governorship vacated by Bala Bello, who was named Special Adviser to the President on Political Economy.

Yuguda returns to the CBN, where he worked from 1984 to 2016, including as Director of Reserve Management, and he was an economist at the IMF from 1997 to 2001\. He served as Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria, the country's capital markets regulator, from 2020 to 2024\. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and a CFA charterholder.

#### SENATE CONFIRMATION REMAINS PENDING

With the presidential approval in place, the appointment moves to the Nigerian Senate for the confirmation that Section 8(1) of the CBN Act 2007 requires for deputy governor appointments.
